Our opinions about the Authors we love to read

From AudioFileReporter Irene Stenson returns to her childhood home of Dunsley, California, after her former friend, Pamela Webb, requests to see her. Irene left Dunsley when she was only 15 after the death of her parents. Irene has never believed that her father murdered her mother and then committed suicide. On her return, Irene and Luke Danner, the owner of the lodge where she is staying, uncover a web of deceit linked to Pamela's powerful father, a U.S. Senator. Kathy Garver capably differentiates the female characters through careful modulation of tone and emotion. David Colacci's smooth, sultry tone breathes life into Luke and emphasizes the arrogance of the famous senator.

I discovered Krentz's writing quite by accident, and actually didn't like that first incident. Let's see, my first Krentz was her Amanda Quick historical called Lie By Moonlight. The female protagonist's name was Concordia Glade, and, well, I go to a university called Concordia. The character was also a teacher, which totally weirded me out (again, because of the uni thing). But then I realised I just wasn't that much into the Victorian times, for many reasons. I'm currently trying another of her Quicks, but so far, meh.

Anyway, All Night Long. This was an amazing book. I'm currently very much into the romantic suspense thing, and Krentz definetely delivered with this one. And if you wonder, no, 'all night long' doesn't refer to an all-nighter of sex. There is very little "visible" sex, and the one very in-your-face scene is short and sweet and about halfway through the book. But, I digress. I mean, the sex doesn't make the book, does it. So All Night Long was a beautiful, suspenseful book full of surprises. The female protagonist gets an email from a long-ago friend asking her to meet her. She's dead when Irene (fem. protag.) shows up to her home. A series of near-death experiences follow, during which Luke (male protag.), the "rude" innkeeper who lodges Irene, consistently keeps her out of harm's way. Together, they try to find out who killed Pamela (Irene's childhood friend), but other people turn up dead. And maybe these murders are connected to the deaths of Irene's parents... And perhaps their working together will help them deal with their pasts...

This was a riveting tale, and keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end. I wholly recommend it for people who love quests, action, psychology, and relationships :)

About Me

Phoebe Jordan

I'm a part-time aspiring romance novelist, book reviewer and blogger. I've
always wanted to travel the world and learn everything I can about other
countries. Learning the Italian language is one way of trying to make that dream
come true. Traveling will help me with my writing because I'll be learning about
the history of the U.S., Latin America, England, Italy, and Ireland, the
countries I find so fascinating while reading the romance genre.

I read and review romance novels of almost every subgenre along with erotic
romance, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy and young adult novels. You can find the
reviews at my blogs, Talk About My Favorite Authors and Phoebe Jordan's
Reviews. I’ve also started a live podcast show called TAMFA | Phoebe
Jordan hosted on Blog Talk Radio. This show is dedicated to everything I
love about romance and young adult novels. I love having romance and young adult
authors live on my show to be interviewed and showcase their books.

I plan to write contemporary romance, romantic suspense, erotic romance,
paranormal romance and young adult when I get my writing career started with
help from Keta. I'm not sure what genre I'll write to begin with since I love to
read so many different romance genres.
